a frivolous thread

[oimissus]

because I feel like it.

Watching season 2 of Game of Thrones (no spoilers please) - Jon Snow or Robb Stark? - I was all about Jon but Robb is looking pretty damn hot. Damn hot. Oh yes.

[Houseoflego]

Really need to watch this game of thrones thing, people at work are obsessed with it. ( ps i do love a frivolous thread!)

[oimissus]

yes, you do. It is tip-top, quite aside from the presence of lush young men. I've had one PM favouring Jon, so I'd be interested in your soon-to-be-valid opinion.

Come on people! There can't just be 2 of us frivolling away.

[Fuschia]

Really want to see it but we don't have sky

[Inkmaiden]

I've just waded my way through all 4000ish pages of Game of Thrones and I'm wondering if the TV series is as unrelentingly violent as the books? Because it gets pretty grim.

Also I don't know if Inkman could bear it if I started watching it as well, as he's just had to endure several weeks of me muttering "Can't talk, reading." and it's not really his sort of thing.

[oimissus]

we don't have Sky, I've watched the first 2 series on DVD. Does Sky Atlantic have ad breaks (I know HBO doesn't)? Because I could not watch it with ads, they do my head in.

It's pretty violent. I read the first 2 books, but now I'm watching it I don't want to read it, if that makes sense.

'can't talk, reading' is my normal state. A couple of weeks back I was irritated beyond belief that Mr Oi wanted to spend breakfast-time talking. Talking!!! This is my reading time, goddammit! (Miss Oi was still in bed). I Was Cross.

[Oxalis]

Jon Snow.

Eric in True Blood too.

Thanks for the thread, cheered me up at the end of a bad day.

[Fuschia]

I wonder how I could access it on my iPad

[oimissus]

ooh, no idea Fuschia, I'm a complete Luddite.

Oxalis - yes, give me a couple of months when season 5 comes out and it'll be goodbye Robb (I've decided definitely (probably) on Robb), helloooooooo Eric.

[bishop]

Robb Stark. Obviously.

And Eric Northam forevah. A pox upon annoying Vampire Bill. And wet and wimpy 'Sookeh', which, incidentally, is the most ridicolous name, ever.

I can't really talk, my taste in TV crushes is pretty abysmal. This is coming from someone who watched every episode of Broadwalk Empire I could get my hands on and fancied...Nucky Thompson. Not Jimmy. Not, er, that Irish one (Owen, I think?). Even had a bit of a glad eye for Meyer Lansky. I am sick.

[Fuschia]

I still hold a candle for Mtchell from being human. Sadly dissolved into a pile of dust a couple of series back.

[Otta]

I lived Being Human, but haven't watched the most recent series since the last of the originals left.

Need to give GoT a go, it's my kind of thing, but have had too many other things to watch recently.

Sorry I can't help on the who is more lush front

[standswithfist]

i LOVE Game of Thrones!! really looking forward to 3rd season on Monday. is it wrong but i think BOTH OF THEM!!!

sky atlantic do have ads - we tend to record it and watch it at a later date as OH works most nights. Loved Sean Bean in the first series.

[Otta]

Just download it for free!

Slightly illegal and all that, but there you go.

[Otta]

Right, as there are not a lot of men in this section, I shall put a question to you women.

What women from TV do you (as women) think are hot? I'll be interested to see what you think.

[oimissus]

both if them?? That's just greedy.

I also stopped watched BH after Mitchell imploded in a cloud of greasy hair. (also, I just could not believe in his romance with Annie. At All.) I thought my heart would then belong to Kili but he was so blown out of the water by the diviness that is Thorin.

Bishop - my liking of Bill is definitely influenced by his hair, he is a vampire that can't carry of bad hair (season 2, I'm thinking of you). Eric, on the other hand, can carry off anything, me included.

[Otta]

Sookie Stackhouse is well, erm, stacked

[standswithfist]

oohhh i like this... females - i think Sarah Beaney/Mariella Frostrup are quite hot.

Can't really think of anyone else at the mo... tend to just watch recorded series stuff.

F - just buy it off itunes. Please don't download content illegally. It's copyright infringement.

Having looked at both online (slow day in the office), I'd go for Robb Stark. My current US TV series crush is Gabriel Macht; he plays Harvey Specter in Suits (C5). I love him.

[standswithfist]

I love pretty much anyone in the new Dallas (esp. Bobby Ewing), Kevin Bacon in the Following and Jim Calvaziel in Person of Interest.

(i'm 7 months pregnant with a boy - which might explain it!!!)

[Otta]

Who is Sarah Beaney?

[standswithfist]

channel 4 Property Ladder was presented by her

[Beagle]

Pregnancy definitely having odd effect on me, was watching a music doc on BBC4 recently and found Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin (late sixties footage) unbelievably attractive. In fact any hairy man in any of the footage looked unusually fine. Apart from that it's Hathaway in Lewis.

[standswithfist]

I LOVE ROCKERS!! I had Iron Maiden on yesterday on youtube. yep. i blame the pregnancy.
